"court death!"

"It's Dongchang's neutered dog, chop him up!"

Xia Houlin didn't speak, he retracted the Yanling sword, the golden light of the sword disappeared into the scabbard as it slowly passed. He held the hilt of the knife sideways and squatted down slowly, the momentum on his body suddenly changed, the chilling Yan Qiu, the eyes faintly exposed under the bangs, flashed with the cruelty of a lone wolf.

The boss of the soldiers sneered: "Why, are you afraid?"

Triangle Eyes laughed and said: "Not only a steered dog, but also a cowardly dog. You are much worse than your colleagues! Grandma, just when I have enough rest, I will chop up another neutered dog and go back to claim credit!"

"You hurt my headmaster?" Xia Houlin said coldly, staring at him.

"I cut off his hand!" Triangle Eyes tucked the tourmaline beads into the armor and smiled triumphantly.

"Is it broken?" Xia Houlin's eyes were unbelievably dark, and his eyes became more and more terrifying.

Those eyes were too scary, and the triangular eyes shivered. He felt that what he saw was not a person, but an evil spirit crawling out of the sea of blood and corpses. But there are four of them, and this one is only one! He strengthened his courage and said with a wicked smile: "The tourmaline of the dead eunuch is in my hands, what do you think!"

Xiahou Lin breathed coldly, his eyes full of anger.

kill them. All these people must die!

The triangular eyes took the lead, and everyone rushed forward with a roar. The cold sword light reflected on Xia Houlin's face, a very bright vertical bar. Xia Houlin didn't move, as if stagnant in place, he maintained the posture of holding the knife, staring at the Yanling knife in Triangle Eye's hand.

The triangular eye finally arrived in front of Xia Houlin, holding the long knife in both hands and slashing through the air. At that moment, Xia Houlin moved! The golden sword light splashed out from the scabbard, as if ten thousand pieces of broken gold were scattered in the air. It was a very fast drawing of the knife, and the extreme speed gave it the power of thunder, and slashed towards the triangular-eyed Yan Ling knife. The knife collided with the knife in the air, only to hear an extremely harsh clang, and the triangular-eyed knife snapped.

However, Triangle Eyes didn't even have time to be surprised. Xia Houlin swung the knife with his backhand again. The blade cut through his neck, as if cutting a leek, and the head flew out, bringing out a gushing blood flower.

The companions behind Triangle Eyes stopped subconsciously, they saw the smooth and neat broken neck exposed when the headless corpse fell, and the dark eyes of the man behind the blood flower, fierce as evil.

Xia Houlin didn't let them go. He stepped on the triangular-eyed corpse, and the goose ling knife in his hand shone like a wave of light in the sun. It is also the Yanling knife, which is no different from other knives in their hands, but in the hands of Xiahou Leng, it is like the fangs of a fierce tiger.

They collided with Xia Houlin, Xia Houlin tapped the boss's mouth with the back of the knife, this blow Xia Houlin used twelve points of force, the boss's mouth cracked immediately, and the two teeth were mixed with blood. There was someone swinging a knife behind him, but Xia Houlin didn't turn his head. Instead, he stretched out the Yanling knife from behind his elbow and pierced the man's arm with a strange arc. When he tried it again, his tendons were broken, and the man covered his hands and wailed. kneel.

The last person chose to escape. Xia Houlin pulled out the three-arrow hand crossbow from his waist and fired it indifferently. The three arrows hit the man's vest, and the man fell to the ground immediately. But in a few breaths, three people died and two people were abandoned, and the blood spread over the yellow locust leaves, with a shocking beauty.

Zhu Shunzi shrank his head and walked out from behind the tree, looking at Xia Houlin fearfully. He could never have imagined that Xiahou Lin, who was usually carefree and amiable, would kill people so ruthlessly. He still remembered the last time he met Xia Houlin, who was buying vegetables at the market. This guy probably wasn't very good at bargaining. He dawdled at the meat stall for a long time, and finally took out the money in frustration. He thought that Xia Houlin was just like him, a bastard who was just like him, and was fooling around in the capital, but now, this bastard kills people with a blank face, without blinking a single eye.

Xia Houlin stepped on the boss's chest and pressed it so hard that the boss couldn't breathe, screaming and struggling.

"Where did you meet the overseer?"

The boss said hurriedly: "In the woods, go inside, five hundred steps!"

"Who gave the order for you to kill the Governor?"

"It's Lord Wan, our commander! The commander said, if you meet Dongchang, you will kill Shen Jue!" The boss kept wailing, but he couldn't cry loudly. Pain, "None of my business, let me go! Please!"

"Why did the surnamed Wan want to kill the Governor?" Xia Houlin continued to ask.

The boss cried: "I don't know! I'm just a soldier, we can do whatever the boss tells us to do!"

Xia Houlin pressed the knife to the boss's chest, "Didn't you lie to me?"

The boss shook his head into a rattle, snot and tears covering his face.

"very good."

The boss thought that Xia Houlin had let him go, and just breathed a sigh of relief, the tip of the knife didn't go into his chest, and the blood from his heart was pouring out, like a bewitching flower on his chest, and the expression on his face instantly solidified.

Zhu Shunzi suddenly pointed in one direction and said, "Xia... Xiahou, that person is going to escape."

Xia Houlin turned his eyes away, and the man ran out of the woods with his hands covered. Xia Houlin picked up a knife from the ground and swung it out with all his might. The long, narrow knife made a golden twist, pierced through the man's body, and nailed him to the tree.

"Xiahou, has our overseer been designed?" Zhu Shunzi squatted on the ground with a bitter face, "Why do we keep encountering this kind of thing? If I had known, I shouldn't have asked you to come, and neither should I!"

"Guangling Temple is already a killing ground. I don't know how many banned troops have been sent by the surnamed Wan. It's not safe in the mountains, so you should go back." Xia Houlin took out the tourmaline beads from Triangle Eye's arms and put them in his pocket. The boss also had a two-foot-long dagger on his body. Xia Houlin picked it out and hung it on his Chihu leather belt.

Zhu Shunzi said hesitantly, "Let's go together. The lord... Everyone has their own lives. Although we work in the East Factory, we don't have to risk our lives."

"No," Xia Houlin lowered his head and counted the weapons on his body, "I didn't do what I promised him before, but I must do it now. Let's go, there will be a future." After he finished speaking, he went into the woods without looking back. gone.

Zhu Shunzi stared at Xia Houlin's back for a while, he felt that Xia Houlin was like a lone wolf, the forest was full of traps, and the Imperial Army was roaming around like hounds, but Xia Houlin just went in like this, as if there was bloodthirsty. The fangs, even shattered to pieces, have no fear.

What a fool.

Zhu Shunzi sniffed and turned around and ran away.

Xia Houlin was furious.

Shen Jue was injured, and it was very serious, and if it was not handled properly, he would probably die. Xia Houlin didn't dare to think about it, he could only keep running, looking for all the clues he could find. He climbed up the tree, leaned on the top of the tree and looked into the distance. The mountain field of Guangling Temple was full of trees, and the dark yellow leaves were surging in the wind, swaying wave after wave. There is a cross at the end of the line of sight, that is a cliff, and there are cliff stone carvings under the cliff.

Eight hundred paces away, they found a group of men and horses. Xia Houlu grabbed the branches and swayed over. The black figure stalked through the forest like a harrier. Anyone who saw it would be surprised by his agility. This is due to Xia Houlin's training in the wild running of the mountains in Jialan. His waist strength and arm strength are far better than ordinary people.

The shadow of the soldier gradually became clear, and Xiahou Lin quietly climbed up an old locust tree, hanging upside down silently, protruding out the dense branches and leaves, revealing only a pair of black eyes. If anyone sees it, they will be shocked. This is a strange scene. The assassin hangs like a bat in the yellow branches and leaves, watching the people below silently, like a ghost waiting to hunt.

A soldier squatted on the ground, touched the trunk of the tree with his hand, and muttered, "Shen Yi went north, we went the wrong way!"

Someone responded, "Didn't we go south before?"

"The mark has changed," the soldier said. "Look, now the thick side faces north, and the thin side faces south. This Shen Yi really doesn't know the way. To the north is a cliff, and he has no way to go."

A black shadow covered his head, he didn't care, only a voice above his head asked, "What mark, what are you looking at?"

"That's it, didn't Master Wan tell us to follow the signs?" As he said, he suddenly bit his tongue and quickly drew his knife and turned back.

He had never heard this voice, it was not from their team!

The knife was blown away, and one stabbed him in the shoulder, pinning him to a tree. He cried out in pain, and at the same time found in horror that his companions were all dead, and the corpses lay upright on the ground, all facing his direction, with their mouths slightly open, full of terrified expressions. This means that no one noticed when the man approached them. The man covered their mouths and killed them one by one from behind. He is like a ghost, silent when approaching, silent when killing.

Now it was his turn. The man looked down at him, gritted his teeth and asked word by word, "What's the matter with this mark?"

He shook his head and said, "I don't know, it was Lord Wan who said, follow the signs, and you can find Shen Jue and those eunuchs... Fanzi!"

"How many people are in the east factory in the mountains?"

"I don't know... They dispersed, we killed a few, and there were many who didn't know where to hide."

Xia Houlin squatted down and patted his face, "How do you know that this mark refers to the route of the Governor, not the route of other fans?"

He stammered: "I guessed that there are always a few thick lines in these marks."

"What else do you know?"

He shook his head blankly.

"You will die if you lie." Xiahou said coldly.

He cried and said, "I dare not... I dare not lie to you."

Xia Houlin pulled out the knife and cut his throat, the blood splashed and dyed half of Xia Houlin's face red, "But I lied to you, sorry, you will die if you don't lie."

Xia Houlin stood up, very anxious. Not only was Shen Jue injured, but there was also a fine work by his side! He punched the tree, wishing to chop down all the forbidden troops in the mountain.

The sound of footsteps was heard behind him, and Xiahou Lin turned his head. In front of him was a squad of ten members of the forbidden army, with ring-locked armors and geese ling saber.

"Is it an enemy or a friend?" The Imperial Guard looked at him suspiciously.

Someone saw the corpse in the fallen leaves and shouted, "It's Shen's running dog!"

Xia Houlin pressed the handle of the knife, his knuckles crackling, he licked his teeth, and slowly pulled out the long knife. The leaves fell like butterflies, the autumn wind was bleak, and the assassin was standing alone on the corpse pile. The Imperial Army roared and rushed towards him. In an instant, the murderous aura was like a mountain.

"Report! There is a lunatic in the East Factory. He will cut down and kill if he sees anyone! We... Eight teams of us have been killed by him! There are still three teams with a few people who escaped and were injured!"

The scout stumbled into the camp. The camp is very simple. There are two round chairs on the ground, a throne is placed in the middle, and a coffee table is placed next to it, and there is nothing else left. Tai Tai sat upright on top, Xu Xu closed his eyes, and the beeswax beads in his hands clapped. Seeing the scout hurried in, he opened one eye and closed it again. There was also a person standing on the ground. They were the commanders of Wan Bohai, and an aunt was kneeling, who seemed to be Zhu Xia, the Queen Mother's personal maid.

Wan Bohai scolded: "Who is it, it's worth making a fuss!"

The scout kowtowed to the queen mother, then turned to the commander and cried: "Commander, go and see, the people who come back look like a ghost, those who lack arms are missing arms, and those who have broken legs have broken legs. Let's kill them next to us. After a few tricks, it's all in the hands of this lunatic!"

Wan Bohai asked suspiciously, "When did Dongchang have such a ruthless character? You go, form a new formation, make a team of 20 people, and search along the mountain road. I don't believe that that lunatic can block 20 people!"

Zhu Xia stroked the Queen Mother's foot and cried, "Miss, please spare the factory officials. Leave him alone, the slaves guarantee that he will not dare to oppose you again! You send him to Jinling, and he is not allowed to go to Beijing again! Please! You spare his life!"

"Silly girl, what kind of person is Shen Jue, give him a drop of water, and he can overturn the river! How can I keep him?" The Empress Dowager sighed, shrank her feet, and tucked her skirt, "You will die for this one. Heart it! I used to say that I would stay with me for the rest of my life, but now that I have a man, I am still a man without a spout, and I am so fascinated by three things, it is really chilling!" She turned her face and said to Wan Bohai, "Twenty people are not enough, that lunatic is not an ordinary person, your subordinates should be careful!"

"It's not an ordinary person, but it's still a god?" Wan Bohai said with a smile.

"It's not a god, it's an evil ghost in hell." The queen mother stroked the Buddha beads, "Go, send more people, Shen Yi and that lunatic will be killed together!"
